Children should be taught at an early period
of life to avoid the use of condiments.
Their food should be plentiful but simple.
Many mother will give her very young
children rich food-pastry, cake and sauces,
and condiments of the most indigestible or
fiery kind-and tell you her children are
healthy, and nothing hurts them. Perhaps
the injury is otapparent at first, but 1t Will
not be long before headaches, indigestion OF
the most serious character, dyspepsia, fixed
for life, disproves the truth of her opinions.

COLOR AND THE CONFERENCE.-The
study of colors with regard to their effect
upon the complexion seems to be consider
ed one of vast depth and growing import
ance to the fashionable world. 1t has re-
ally come to be necessary that lady who
would depend upon her own taste and judg-
ment in this matter should have great
deal of artistic culture. Consequently it is
our purpose to lay before our readers in
condensed and concise form all the informa-
tion we can CLEAN from the various sources
open to us.
The most satisfactory way Of illustrating
for ones self the laws of contrast in colors,
as applied to their effect on the complexion,
and the manner in which it is modified by
the juxtaposition of different hues, is to
hold something of certain color in the
hand, and after looking at it for several
minutes, look from it to the hand. After
looking at green the hand will seem to be
suffused by delicate rose color; pink will
give general green tinge; yellow will give
purple, and blue, orange. Consequently,
pink and rose colors should not be placed in
direct contact with carnation tints in the
complexion, as they would have the effect
of depriving the face of much of its bright
ness. The best way to prevent too great
contrasts of this kind is to put between the
draperies and the skin ruche Of white
tulle or lace, either of which owing to its
transparent character, reflects the light from
the threads and absorbs it in the interstices,
and by this mixture of light and shade pro-
duces the effect of gray:

HIS POVERTY ExPLAINED.-A Georgia
writer signing himself "Wool Hat" tells
the following plain story as showing why
he is poor.
81 am poor because I buy more than l
sell. In the first place, buy part Of my
meat from the Northwest, my fish comes
from Portland, for the taking of which the
Mainelanders receive bounty from the
Government My onion sets and all my
garden seeds I buy from Michigan. 1 sold
the wool from eighteen sheep at 81! cents
per pound to an agent of the manufacturing
Company at Reading, Pa; four months
thereafter bought hat from the same
COMPANY, paving at the rate of six dollars
a pound for the wool. The hide of buck
sold at 5 cents per pound. 1t went to FL
mira, N. Y, was tanned, sent back, and
bought it at 35 cents pound, and it weigh
ed more than it did when I sold it. My
axe handles come from Connecticut, my
matches from Delaware, pen, ink and pa
per from New York. Am I the only fool
in Georgia."
FooLING NoLoGIsT.-Some time
ago an English gentleman found large
turnip in his field of the shape of mans
head, and with the resemblance of the fea-
lures of man. Struck with the curiosity,
he had cast made of it and sent the cast to
a phrenologist, stating that it was taken
from the head of a celebrated professor, and
requested an opinion thereon. After sitting
in Judgment it was reported that it denoted
man of acute mind and deep research,
that he had the organ of quick perception,
and also of perseverance, with another that
indicated credulity. This opinion was sent
to the owner of the cast, with letter re-
questing, as a particular favor that he
would send him the head. To this he re-
pllcu lLdU llc "Oulu w ooi ~
was prevented, as he and his family had
eaten it the day before with their mutton
for dinner.
THE SPINNING JENNY.-It may be inter-
esting to know that James Hargreaves, the.
English ian, who in 1764, devised the ia
nous Spinning Jenny, derived no money,
from his invention. Under the pressure OF
poverty, he made and sold several of his
machines before taking outs patent: When
the Spinning Jenny had revolutionized the
weaving trade, Hargreaves found that his
invention was pirated in all directions.
The combined manufacturers offered him
$4,000 as recompense and for permission
to use his machine but he demanded
much larger sum, which was refused; ana
he then began series of laW-sults-ultl-
mately abandoning them on being advised
by his attorney that his rights could not be
sustained.
WHAT MAKES MAN.-What makes the
man is his character, and not his appear
ance nor anything external: The poet
Burns, who was walking in Edinburg with
fashionable young man, met and spoke to
worthy, but plainly dressed farmer:
When his companion blamed him, the poet
replied:
"Why, it was not the rough coat that D.!
spoke to, but the man that was in it; and
the man, sir, for true worth, would weigh
down you and me, and ten more such, any
day."
1t is the character that makes the man,
and tho character ia ALWAYS being shaped
